Ihanaa Leijonat, ihanaa! :)

Hei! :D


Oh what a match that was! Just amazing moments packed with emotions and tension! :) 


Yesterday evening the Ice Hockey World Cup final match between Finland and Sweden. I have watched it on-line. For a whole day I was panicking as I wanted to watch it live but all internet sites I have found wanted me to pay for a monthly subscription. At the end Jari send me the link to the official International Ice Hockey Federation site and then I was able to pay-per-view for the match. 


It was worthy every penny spent :) Watching the match and commenting on Skype as I watched it with Jari from Espoo - that was great fun... I was shouting in English, Polish and occasionally in Finnish :) I can bet my neighbours think I am crazy now :)




The first period passed without any scores but flying puck gave us all a huge amount of excitement. In the second period Sweden scored 1 and that was just so disappointing... but then Leijonat showed what they can do... and the third period was just an amazing time... all Finnish scores were like one after another... The boys were great!!! And fast! The game finished with the result 6 : 1 for Finland and a huge happiness in Finland and in my room :) I needed to celebrate it together with my Finnish friends, so the bottle of sparkling wine needed to assist me! :) 




The game was amazing and after 16 years Finland won the World Cup!!! Celebrations on the streets after the match... I am wondering how many people actually went to work today :)


Ihanaa Leijonat, ihanaa! :) ja kiitos!
